• Computer can not detect any sound cards and graphics or communication ports.

  Recently I reinstalled Windows using the CD, I had Dell, when I bought my computer. However, when I was done with the installation, I went on youtube to look at things and I realized that the sound was not working. I thought I must have forgotten to install the driver for my sound card, then when I tried to install, it says something in the sense of "error". - Impossible to find Port Com1 I looked into this a bit on google and found that it is probably disabled in my BiOS. I'm not sure what to do after that, but I hope that someone knows why my computer can not detect anything.  hate viruses

• Computer can not detect the printer so that connected via USB

  My computer runs on Windows 7 Professional and my printer is model # D110a.

  My printer has worked fine since I got it, but a few weeks ago, my computer has been infected by a virus that forced me to reformat and reinstall everything. I installed the necessary software from the installation CD supplied with the printer, but when I try to connect my printer through the 'Add Device' option in the Configuration menu, my computer does not detect even if the printer is on and physically connected by a USB cable.

  Help please, I don't have the money to buy a new printer.

  No problem. Just glad that you solved. Can you go ahead and mark this as resolved to close issue? Thank you.

  Bought in 2009-trusty HP Photosmart C8180 printer all-in-one has a permitted lightscribe dvd burner drive. Worked very well with 32-bit Xp computer.

  Now I have a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit, so had to download software like older software would not work. Printer now works fine again, even wireless.

• After installation, my computer does not detect my Laserjet 1536dbf network and I can't print

  I installed my printer on my home network. Now, my computer can not detect so I can't print.

  I noticed that the printer indicates a different IP address that the router assigns to him and which is visible on the router configuration Web page. Reset of the printer and my router has no effect.

  I had to reset my router a few days due to a failure in broadband. Could be the cause of the problem?

  It turns out that reset the router after the failure in broadband, the other day off the ethernet port to which the printer is conncected. It's strange because the previous resets did not do that.

  Thanks for your help.

• Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

  I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

  Hi Bill,

  To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

  As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  By Michael Petersen - kongkuba difficulty no work reader of CD in Vista and windows 7

  When you upgrade a computer to Windows Vista or Windows 7 Beta, or install Windows Vista Service Pack, and after a reboot, the computer CD/DVD drive no longer works as expected, or it says driver is not digitally signed, you need to remove the affected filter drivers.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the registry change (Regedit.exe).
  2. Locate and then click the registry key under:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

     Warning
     To make sure that you are in the appropriate registry key slot, make sure that the default data value is the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and the class data value is CDROM.

     

  3. In the pane, click UpperFilters, and then click Remove.
  4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion of the UpperFilters registry entry.
  5. Do the same with the LowerFilters
  6. Exit the registry editor and restart the computer.

  Only he, the CD/DVD should now work as expected.
